• LINEAR Y MOTION—select this checkbox to cause Y-Axis Motion using the X
and X’ axes. When this checkbox is clear, Y-Axis Motion occurs using the X
and C axes. Please refer to Programming Coordinates and Linear Y Motion, on
page 2 - 68 for examples. This field is available with TMX MY and TMX MYS
series machines.
Radial Loop Around C-Axis
From the New Radial Holes Operation screen select Radial Loop Around C-Axis F3. The
Radial Holes Loop Around C-Axis screen appears.
Figure 2–103. Live-Tooling Radial Holes Loop Around C-Axis screen
The fields on this screen are defined as follows:
• USE C CLAMP checkbox—engages the C Axis Clamp during the Hole
operation when this checkbox is selected.
• NUMBER OF HOLES—defines the number of holes for the bolt circle.
• Z OFFSET—defines the Z offset for the circular hole pattern to be rotated
around the cylinder.
• RETURN LEVEL—identifies the level to which the tool should retract at the
end of the drill cycle. R Plane is the default.
• I PLANE—returns to the coordinate specified in the X/Z Start field.
• R PLANE—returns to the coordinate specified in the R Plane field.
• START ANGLE—defines the angle to the first hole, measured
counterclockwise from the home position.
• SKIP LIST—provides fields for entering the hole number to be skipped
moving in the counterclockwise direction.
Linear Y-Axis Motion is limited. The amount of Y travel is affected by
the X position and by any X-Axis tool length offset.
